I've been sitting here staring at this for five minutes... fabulous image! The tones are unexpected, gorgeous; the layers upon layers of plant life, amazing; the bird posing perfectly in the center of the light, perfection...I love this LOTS!
I can't believe how cool this photo is! The bright background makes it larger than life as far as initial impact. I just love the composition -- everything about it!
This is a travesesty! Gave this a 10...by far and away the best image in this challenge along with Ursula's...you were robbed, left with your pants down...grrrr deserved a ribbon...in my favourites now
Tied as one of my favorite images in the challenge. I really love the lighting and differnent depths goinn on here. A very dramatized picture. The only thing keeping it back from a perfect score it the hard transition of the bird, it looks oversharpened for this resolution. Still a wonderful photo and highly rated.
Interesting approach. Even though the egret is centered the image is quite dynamic due to the angle of the branch and the stance of the bird. I'm not sure if I like the blown out background but maybe if the bird stood out more the background would fit in better.
this is superb...it has to be a ribbon winner for it has all the qualities of great photography: composition, dof, subject matter, light, editing and the list goes on...perfect and faultless to me 10
regarding the challenge,there are at least 2 subjects and not 1 isolated:the bird and the branch.plus the the branches in the right corner of the photo are in focus also (3rd subject)
